  Scoprire la personalità dell'architetto Buzzi è stato molto interessante. Il "cicerone" poi, è una vera miniera di informazioni

  La bellezza di questo luogo lascia senza fiato, la visita è accompagnata dal proprietario che spiega benissimo e magistralmente ogni angolo. Ha una personalitá un pò eccentrica ed ha una visione della vita particolare (che io condivido) e per questo potrebbe rimanere "inopportuno" alla maggior parte dei visitatori. Vale la pena!!

  Brian was an amazing tour guide. This place defies explanation. Look up pictures and you'll get an idea. Remote and quiet. Worth a visit.

  Visita guidata su prenotazione, piccoli gruppi ammessi una volta al giorno. Siamo rimasti all'interno della Città per quasi 4 ore, una esperienza davvero imperdibile.

  We visited this amazing place as part of an art course, and it was well worth the visit. The 2-hour tour guide was charming, and great fun, with lots of anecdotes at his fingertips. Fascinating insight into the history of this architecturally weird place. A must-go destination ...

  Set in a pastoral setting in the Umbrian countryside is Scarzuola an interesting, lovingly restored 13th century Franciscan monastery side by side w/20th century architect Buzzi's bizarre theatrical vision.Brian our guide gave an informative and fun tour of both.Agree w/ others this is really unique chance to find some of the old and new Italian culture set in the quiet countryside.

  In the '50s a very sucessful Italian architect, Tommaso Buzzi, bought an old monastery near Montegabbione. Over the next several decades he not only restored the monastery but he added his own surrealist playground to the grounds. The buildings serve no discernable purpose other than delighting the significant number of visitors fortunate enough to find their way there. As a whimsical venture, it's rather extravagant, but thank God for mad architects with the assets to convert their dreams to stone in places where they do no harm and where they lend a magical aura to the landscape.It's hard to find but worth the effort. You need to call in advance to arrange admission and a tour.
